Which young Brazilians will be dominating European leagues in five years time?
The Brazilian top division is not the most highly regarded league in the world in terms of quality, but it is the ultimate showcase for young talent, with players from all over South America heading to the Brasilerao to prove themselves.

Watch out for these guys in the future, and especially in the new Football Manger game…
